Jelena Ostapenko has left Wimbledon with a title after winning the mixed doubles event.
Ostapenko reached the third round of the singles tournament at Wimbledon this year, before losing to world number one Aryna Sabalenka.
The Latvian also suffered an early defeat in women’s doubles, but Ostapenko went all the way in mixed doubles alongside El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo.
Ostapenko was involved in arguments en route to winning the title, but she has now achieved a rare tennis achievement that both Serena and Venus Williams have also done.
Jelena Ostapenko has won Grand Slam titles in singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles
As well as now being a Wimbledon mixed doubles champion, Ostapenko has also won a Roland Garros singles title (2017) and a women’s doubles title alongside Lyudmyla Kichenok at the US Open in 2024.
Ostapenko has now joined an exclusive group of just 13 women who have won a Grand Slam in all three disciplines in the Open Era.
Martina Navratilova leads this list in terms of Open Era titles, having won a record 59 Grand Slams across singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles, while Margaret Court won 64 Grand Slam titles, but 36 of those came in the Amateur Era.
Some of the other names on this list include both Serena and Venus Williams, Billie Jean King and Martina Hingis.
Ostapenko is on an even more exclusive list of active WTA players to have won a Grand Slam title in singles and both doubles disciplines, alongside the Williams sisters and Barbora Krejcikova.
The Latvian’s achievement is perhaps made even more impressive as her Grand Slam titles have come across all three surfaces.

Jelena Ostapenko reacts after winning Wimbledon mixed doubles
After winning the Wimbledon mixed doubles title, Ostapenko was asked about her rare achievement in her post-match press conference.
Ostapenko suggested that her achievement felt even more special having done it at Wimbledon, where she also won a junior singles title in 2014.

An all-Czech clash!
“I think it’s really great,” said Ostapenko. “I mean, especially winning Wimbledon also, I think it’s one of the greatest tournaments. I won here in juniors. Now I won here in mixed doubles.
“So the third final was the lucky one finally, because last year was very disappointing to lose in doubles final and one year in mixed doubles final.
“It’s great. I think, yeah, what Marcelo said, he was serving really great this week. I think our game styles mesh pretty well. I’m playing at the baseline, he’s playing really good at the net, then serving very well. I’m very confident on his serve, so yeah.”
